"Huaxia's manned spacecraft has been successfully launched, and a successful spacewalk has been carried out!"

"Huaxia has become the third country in the world to complete a spacewalk, and it has come behind China and Russia!"

"Huaxia's aerospace power should not be underestimated, the next step is for them to try space docking technology, and the exploration of the moon should also be included in the plan."

"Since the completion of the ISS program, we haven't had any space exploration programs for a long time."

"The last moon landing was in 1972, more than 30 years ago!"

Bucky, who was at home in San Francisco, sat in front of his computer, constantly browsing the chat history in the group chat of the people.

Since the successful launch of Shenzhou-7 by Huaxia on the other side of the ocean two days ago, the topic of conversation among the friends in this group of cosmology enthusiasts in him is inseparable from Huaxia's aerospace industry.

I have to say that Huaxia's progress in the last ten years is really too fast.

On November 21, 1999, the last month before the advent of the 21st century, Huaxia successfully launched Shenzhou-1, which was only an unmanned test spacecraft.

Eight years later, Huaxia has successfully gone from unmanned experiments to manned spaceflight to spacewalks.

Although this speed was not as fast as the United States in five years, it was a period of hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, and it was time that was bought with money at all costs.

Huaxia did not invest a lot of money in the aerospace field, not even 1% of GDP, and completed this feat in eight years.

Baji and his fellow enthusiasts are constantly lamenting that Huaxia is really developing too fast.

Five years ago, everyone's impression of Huaxia was that it was still a backward society under the "GCZY" planned economy, and they never thought that they would make achievements in the aerospace field.

But in the blink of an eye, people have already stepped on the earth and looked up at the sky.

When the world's most populous country shifted its gaze from the yellow earth under their feet to the sky, the energy that erupted was too great.

"Japan, Europe, and South Korea have been shouting the slogan of space exploration for decades, but until now they have not even launched an experimental spacecraft."

According to the plan announced by the Huaxia Space Agency, they will also carry out space docking in 2010 to prepare for the establishment of a space station in the future!"

"If all goes well, their first test space station will be launched in 2011."

"It's all too fast!"

The group was still chatting, and Badge looked at the news and echoed a few words from time to time.

Huaxia's "Tiangong" space station plan has long been no secret, the Huaxia Space Agency has long disclosed this plan, and even half a year later at the 2009 Spring Festival Gala, there will be a model unveiled.

It is also because of the rapid development of China's own aerospace technology that the movie "Gravity" is not so "mysterious", and it is not surprising that fans believe that the story in the movie takes place in China.

It's like Americans making all kinds of hard science fiction movies, and the global audience doesn't think that the American GIs in the movies are technologically advanced and can fight aliens.

Because people are really the country with the strongest technology on the surface at present, it is not surprising that any high-tech appears in American movies.

If you make this kind of film in countries like India and South Korea, do you think the international audience can accept it?

With the rapid growth of China's aerospace power, the appearance of "Gravity" will not make people laugh at the whimsy of the Chinese people.

People really have a realistic space station plan, and they will go to the sky in the next year or two.

"Hey, when you say that, I want to watch Gravity even more." Badge said in the group.

After saying that, he also posted a web link to the group.

This is some American or Chinese who know Chinese, excerpted and forwarded some film reviews of "Gravity" from Chinese Internet.

Not only do Chinese people love to forward and translate some extranet reports and news every day, but the United States, as the birthplace of the Internet, also has many people who are paying attention to hot news in other countries.

"Gravity", which caused a phenomenal hit in China, also has countless eyes from the United States.

With the popularity of this movie in China, many translated film reviews have also appeared on foreign Internet.

And the more I read these movie reviews, the more American aerospace enthusiasts like Badge want to watch this movie.

Without him, the reputation of "Gravity" is really good in China!

It's all praise, and every point from the special effects to the actors' acting skills to the story has received countless praises.

To say that this movie is so good that it has no flaws is certainly unrealistic.

But who called this a sci-fi film made by the Chinese themselves?

Everyone selectively ignores the shortcomings and grasps the advantages and boasts.

Foreign netizens don't know the inside story, they only know that this movie is perfect in the mouths of Chinese fans, and with such a huge amount of praise, it doesn't look like a fake.

"Hell, our petition at the White House has hundreds of signatures, but it's not noticed!"

"I think we should do something!"

"Hey, why don't we forward the movie review and editing video of this movie to some sci-fi fan groups?"

"It's been a long time since there has been an excellent hard sci-fi movie in Hollywood, and I believe that many sci-fi fans are also waiting for a good movie to appear!"

"There are so many of them than we do."

A few smart group members came up with a really good suggestion.

Not all astronomy enthusiasts and cosmology enthusiasts will be science fiction fans.

Similarly, sci-fi fans don't necessarily have to be astronomy enthusiasts.

In fact, most sci-fi fans just love to watch sci-fi movies, and they don't really pay attention to astronomy, the universe, and aerospace in their daily lives, let alone join this kind of fandom forum or group chat.

"Kevin's idea is great!"

"I know a forum for sci-fi fans, so I'm going to post it!"

"And me, I have a netizen who is a science fiction movie lover, and he should have a lot of channels to speak!"

"Damn, I don't know any sci-fi movie lovers, but I can go to the forums now!"

In this way, many people in this small group of only a few dozen people mobilized their own connections and found ways to promote "Gravity" on the North American Internet.

According to the theory of six degrees of space, any two people in the world can be connected by a maximum of six people.

This is also the reason why there are TV series, movies, and songs that can quickly become popular by relying on "tap water" when there is no official publicity.

Especially after the advent of the Internet, a product that pulls into human communication.

The speed at which messages are delivered is very fast.

However, in half a day's work, the promotional introduction of "Gravity" appeared on major film forums in North America, all of which were carefully made English subtitle trailers.

Many fans who have never heard anything about this movie (Hollywood will not promote a Chinese movie) have only heard of the movie "Gravity" for the first time.

It may sound absurd, a movie that is so popular across the ocean that children know about it, but on the other side of the Pacific Ocean it is not famous.

But this is the reality, the mouthpiece of the media in various countries will always be in the hands of a small poke people, and what they want the public to know, the public will know.

However, the advent of the Internet has broken this information cocoon.

At a time when there are no dominance giants on the Internet in various countries, and when platforms such as Twitter and Facebook have not monopolized all Internet voice channels like physical media groups, the Internet has truly played its original role.

Faster information transfer from person to person.

Through a large number of movie forums and social platforms, "Gravity", a hard sci-fi movie from China, quickly exploded among North American fans.

The well-made trailers, the amazingly realistic special effects space scenes, and the tense and exciting space crisis have all piqued the interest of North American fans.

As the largest box office of science fiction movies, North American fans love science fiction movies!

In recent years, Hollywood has indeed not seen many excellent hard science fiction movies, "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", the three magical and fantasy IPs, have led the Hollywood fantasy style in the past decade.

It was only last year that the appearance of "Transformers" slightly revived the influence of some sci-fi blockbusters.

Now that a hard sci-fi movie "Gravity" shot by Wu Yuan, who has experienced market testing in Asia, has been praised by the public, and has a bumper harvest at the box office, and the director is familiar to them, Wu Yuan, is in front of them, why don't they want to watch it?

The appearance of "Gravity" is also just the perfect time to bump into this North American sci-fi blockbuster that is in short supply, and fans are eager to see sci-fi movies!

Otherwise, by next year, the three sci-fi movies "Avatar", "2012" and "District 9" will sweep the world, and North American fans will not be short of sci-fi movies to watch, let alone be interested in a Chinese sci-fi movie.

It can only be said that Wu Yuan's choice of release time is indeed too ingenious!

The time and the people of "Gravity" have been mastered, and the difference is the location.

And this poor location, North American fans are trying to make up for it!

The post on the White House website that petitioned for the introduction of "Gravity" to be released in the United States had only received hundreds of replies in half a month, but after the news of the "Gravity" movie spread among American fans, the number of replies to this post exploded.

One thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand!

In just three days, the number of replies to the post exceeded 50,000, and a large number of North American fans are calling for the introduction of "Gravity" as soon as possible, they need this movie!

Universal Pictures Headquarters, Conference Room.

"What a damn internet!"

"Since the Internet, people have been mobilized too easily!"

One of Universal's executive vice presidents slapped the table angrily.

He was very dissatisfied with the wave of "Gravity" that suddenly popped up on the Internet.

The matter is so big, so the six big ones can't be regarded as not seeing it.

They didn't even have a proper reason to refuse to introduce Gravity.

At least on the surface, this is a simple space disaster film, not mixed with any political, racial and other sensitive issues, but the movie is made by Chinese.

Can they refuse the call of American fans on the grounds that "this is a Chinese movie, so it can't be introduced"?

This will only attract greater dissatisfaction and anger from fans!

Reaching out and rubbing the root of his nose, the vice president said with a headache: "Go, send someone to contact Huaxia." ”

"We could bring in Gravity, but there would only be a maximum of 500 cinemas showing the film."

"Tell Daniel that this number is already the limit that can be given."

"He's a smart guy and will understand what I mean." (End of chapter)
